Longer-form draft.
During the February 24 Board of Health meeting, a notable issue regarding town infrastructure was brought to light: Burlington lacks any historical records regarding the installation of lead service lines. Environmental Engineer Christine Mathis informed the Board that because the town has no documentation of whether lead service lines were ever installed, the Department of Public Works is now required by Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations to issue notifications to residents. These notifications are meant to inform households of potential risks associated with lead in water service lines. While the Board supported the reporting and notification process, the revelation highlights a significant gap in the town’s utility records. Residents should look out for these upcoming DEP-mandated communications to stay informed about their water service connections. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/burlington/board-of-health/2026-02-24/ #MeetingWatch #BurlingtonMA
